Not able to open files in IE mode
I've been trying to open a local pdf file in IE mode, every time I try to reload the file in internet explorer mode this dialogue is appearing. It says to open or save the file, If I'm trying to open a file then it is opening in edge not in IE mode.

- To open a local PDF in IE mode within Microsoft Edge, you can't directly open local files due to IE mode's limitations. Instead, host the PDF on a local server like XAMPP or WAMP, then access it via a URL (like http://localhost/yourfile.pdf) and try loading that URL in IE mode in Edge. This approach simulates how IE mode is intended to work with web-hosted content, rather than directly opening local files.
- If you’re comfortable with basic web development, you can run a simple local server (using tools like XAMPP, WAMP, or even Python’s HTTP server module) and place your PDF file in the server directory.
souravbaghel786 Navigate to Default browser on the left sidebar. Under the Internet Explorer compatibility section, ensure that Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode is set to Allow. You may need to restart Edge for the changes to take effect.
1. 打开 Edge，点击右上角的三点菜单，选择“设置”。
2. 点击“默认浏览器”，在“Internet Explorer 兼容性”下，开启“允许网站在 IE 模式下重新加载”。
3. 在“Internet Explorer 模式页面”部分，将网站添加到 IE 模式。
确认文件与 IE 模式兼容。
4. 清除缓存和 Cookie：点击三点菜单，选择“设置”，然后清除“隐私、搜索和服务”下的“缓存的图像和文件”和“Cookie”。“隐私、搜索和服务”下的“Cookie”。 5.
更新 Edge：点击三点菜单，选择“帮助和反馈”下的“关于 Microsoft Edge”检查更新。
6. 禁用干扰扩展：在三点菜单中的“扩展”中禁用不必要的扩展。
7. 如果使用 IE，请检查工具 > 兼容性视图设置。
8. 重新启动 Edge 以应用更改。- This issue is likely due to the fact that Internet Explorer (IE) is not designed to handle local file opens by default. Instead, it tries to download the file instead of opening it. This is a security feature to prevent malicious code from running on your local machine.
